this article is really inspiring. it is really sad that there is so much gender inequality in the world.

As a girl myself, I think this should definitely change. This probably isn't the most groundbreaking, most horrible problem in the world right now, with all the wars and dictators, and it's gotten a lot better over the years. I recently read a book about women in the House of Representatives, and there's actually not that many. Seriously - men get 34 cents more than women, even though women work just as hard and do the same exact thing the men do? I'm surprised more men don't step up to stop this problem! And also some women don't even fight for women's rights, even in the 20th century, they just let men mold them into housewives. I mean, at least women can work and earn money, but this is definitely pretty bad. Plus, men get paid 5 times more than women in basketball teams - more than that! Come on! I'm actually pretty inspired by Elana Schlenker, and to the people who think it's kind of unfair.. well, she's basing how much you pay on how much you earn, so yeah, I do think it's fair. Only tennis players get an equal amount of money as men? Please. I read in that same book about women in the House of Representatives that in one year, Maine sent 2 senators and 2 representatives - all women! So alongside California, I think Maine is also the most progressive state. Please fix this problem, even if you are a boy and you don't think it has anything to do with you.. Don't you want the world to be fair? No matter what your skin color, gender, background, religion, etc., are, we should all be treated fairly and equally, because we're all human.
